⚖️ : what line will they never cross? ( river! )

₀₁. ㅤ OUT, ㅤ 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗢𝗡 𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦. ㅤ𝙰𝙲𝙲𝙴𝙿𝚃𝙸𝙽𝙶.

River has a few moral and ethical lines he won't cross. Now, that doesn't mean he's strictly against doing anything illegal because he definitely isn't, but. In a general sense, he always respects people's personal boundaries, he doesn't discriminate against others, he doesn't believe in stealing from non-corporations, he won't inflict unwanted / unnecessary / excessive harm onto people that don't want or deserve it, and he will always protect children.

The other thing is, I think he has set a really hard boundary in his own mind about never discussing the things happening to him inside of that hotel. He's being tortured mentally and physically by some rather harsh entities, he believes he's going crazy ( and really, he is ) but he feels like he can't talk about with anyone out of fear they either won't take him seriously, will think he's extremely mentally disturbed, or worse ... because who knows, maybe bringing it to their attention will mean whatever spirits are lurking about will latch on to them, too. Nobody can know, and therefore, he suffers alone.

He is, unfortunately, tragically, a very private man in a way that is detrimental. But a lot of his other morals are very circumstantial, greyed out, and nuanced, and his sense of right versus wrong has become incredibly distorted alongside his sense of reality. But, all in all, he is someone who tries to be good and just gets caught up in a lot of really, really bad situations where he has to make difficult decisions ... ( and maybe has some pretty weird, self destructive kinks, too, but that's beside the point. )

Plenty more historical documentaries.  It's a lot of hate watching, studying what he missed, and then watching stuff just to see if it's accurate to how he remembers that time period.

He  is  definitely  a  home  safe  type  of  guy.  In  it,  there’s  several  prescription  medications  that  he  keeps  tucked  away  for  safety  purposes,  a  few  old  family  mementos  and  heirlooms  that  he  doesn’t  want  to  get  rid  of  but  doesn’t  want  to  look  at,  either.  Abbot’s  gun  and  ammunition  is  also  stored  there.  Generally,  it’s  just  things  that  he  would  rather  neither  of  them  have  easy  access  to  because  of  their  tendencies.

The part of the brain that regulates hunger and thirst is the same part of the brain that regulates your sex drive and I can definitely find a way to twist this information to relate it to vampires.

[hereticsinc]

So, the hypothalamus is a tiny part of the brain that regulates hunger, thirst, how you digest food, sexual arousal and sex drive, body temperature, sleep-wake cycles, and homeostasis ( which is the stability of your internal body. )

If we consider vampirism to be some sort of infection, impairment, or developmental deviation to that part of the brain, it would make sense that their hunger and thirst for blood differs from the typical food intake of a standard human, and their ability to digest and live off of blood in the first place. It also accounts for their internal body temperature differing due to the lack of heat regulation, their sleep-wake cycles being the exact opposite, and ( according to some folklore and fictionalizations of vampires ) their sex drive being about as insatiable as their bloodlust, which are often inextricably linked to one another in most versions of vampires anyway.

This does not, of course, account for every feature of a vampire's condition, such as their weaknesses and relative immortality, but as we know, certain types of infections and conditions can affect multiple parts of the body and brain, so.

I'm currently reading through a novel that takes written historic accounts of vampirism from several hundred years ago and compares or explains it through the lens of modern forensic pathology. I'll probably update this as I get further into the book!

𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗘: 𝖱𝖨𝖵𝖤𝖱 𝖵𝖤𝖨𝖫𝖬𝖮𝖭𝖳. | | | [ THE WESTOVER MOTEL ] A STEPHEN KING THEMED BED & BREAKFAST IN HANCOCK, MAINE ( ... )

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗪𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗠𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗟.  It’s  a  quaint  little  building  tucked  away  in  the  port  town  of  Hancock.  Nestled  between  the  trees,  it  boasts  a  handful  of  rooms  with  a  small  amount  of  staff  lodging  on  site.  It  had  been  abandoned  for  decades,  avoided  by  locals,  citing  the  occurrence  of  a  terrible, grisly  tragedy  with  the  family  who  built  the  home  originally.  That  is,  until  it  was  acquired  by  River  Veilmont.  Utilizing  the  inheritance  left  to  him  by  his  parents  after  their  deaths,  it  was  meticulously  converted  into  a  Stephen  King  themed  bed  and  breakfast,  meant  to  be  an  immersive  experience  for  horror  fans  who  wanted  to  explore  haunted  coasts  of  Maine  through  King’s  eyes.

The  Westover  Motel  stands  with  a  total  of  six  rooms  decorated  to  match  the  themes  of  the  iconic  author’s  novels  and  various  movie  adaptations.  Parked  outside  is  Veilmont’s  customized  1958  Plymouth  Fury,  with  the  exact  red  and  white  paint  job  featured  in  the  movie,  Christine.  The  lobby  entrance  itself  has  the  iconic  hexagonal  orange  and  red  carpeting  from  1980  adaptation  of  The  Shining,  with  each  room  key  modeled  after  the  ones  seen  in  Kubrick’s  film.  Dark  wood  bookshelves  line  one  wall  of  the  lobby,  loaded  with  copies  of  King’s  works  in  various  translations  and  editions,  as  well  as  copies  of  the  films.

One  of  the  largest  rooms  was  converted  into  an  at-home  movie  theatre,  where  Veilmont  will  screen  horror  films  for  guests  ( and  can  often  be  found  there  when  the  building  is  empty. )  

𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠 𝗢𝗡𝗘, 𝗜𝗧.  One  wall  is  dedicated  to  a  sprawling,  hand  painted  mural  map  of  the  fictional  town  of  Derry,  cursive  lettering  swirled  around  in  the  top  left  corner  with  an  inviting,  “DERRY  WELCOMES  YOU!” ...  Several  faux  framed  articles  from  The  Derry  Herald  adorn  the  walls,  alongside  the  faces  of  children  plastered  on  missing  posters.  The  thick  baseboards  of  the  room,  painted  to  look  like  a  cement  curb,  utilize  the  air  vent  in  the  floor  to  mimic  the  very  sewer  drain  that  Georgie  disappeared  down,  his  paper  boat  perched  neatly  in  a  glass  case  on  the  wooden  dresser  next  to  it.  A  lone  yellow  raincoat  hangs  neatly  on  the  back  of  the  door.  Along  the  opposite  wall  where  the  head  of  the  bed  sits  is  another  massive  mural  –  the  head  of  Pennywise,  mouth  stretched  wide  and  teeth  bared  across  the  width  of  the  entire  wall,  fashioned  to  look  like  the  entrance  of  a  frightening  circus  ride.  The  bedding,  custom  made,  mimics  the  motifs  and  color  palette  of  the  famed  clown’s  outfit,  with  fluffy  red  circular  pillows  propped  neatly  on  top.  There’s  matching  lamps  on  both  bedside  tables  shaped  like  red  balloons,  and  various  prop  recreations  from  the  films  are  dispersed  throughout  the  room.  

𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠  𝗧𝗪𝗢,  𝗧𝗛𝗘  𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚.  The  back  of  the  door  is  plain  white,  crooked  red  letters  that  spell  out  ‘REDRUM’  painted  along  the  middle.  The  iconic  orange  and  red  carpet  reappears,  sprawled  across  the  entire  room.  The  closet  door  has  a  prop  axe  wedged  and sealed in  it,  and  the  bathroom  is  the  same  pale  green  as  the  one  pictured  in  Room  237.  Along  one  wall  is  a  mural  of  the  bird’s  eye  view  of  the  hedge  maze  featured  prominently  in  the  film,  and  a  desk  sits  neatly  in  one  corner,  with  a  typewriter  sat  on  top.  A  single  sheet  of  paper  sits  in  the  typewriter,  reading  ‘ALL  WORK  AND  NO  PLAY  MAKES  JACK  A  DULL  BOY.’  Next  to  it  is  a  box,  with  stacks  of  paper  that  read  the  very  same  sentence,  typed  over  and  over  again,  the  various  formatting  seen  in  the  film  painstakingly  recreated  for  the  purpose  of  authenticity.  Framed  black  and  white  photos  of  Jack  Nicholson’s  character  at  the  grand  balls  of  the  Overlook  Hotel  line  the  wall.  The  windows  have  been  frosted  lightly  to  give  the  illusion  of  cold  weather  and  snow.  Various  decorative  props  and  decor  are  dispersed  throughout  the  room,  with  a  small  crystal  chandelier  hanging  from  the  center  of  the  ceiling.

𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠  𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗘,  𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗘.  A  startlingly  accurate  recreation  of  Carrie’s  prom  dress  from  the  1976  film  hangs  neatly  against  the  closet  door,  enclosed  in  a  clear  plastic  garment  bag.  The  wall  the  headboard  rests  against  boasts  a  gigantic  mural  depicting  all-engulfing  flames  and  the  silhouette  of  the  titular  character  in  the  middle,  with  a  sparkling  tinsel  ‘SENIOR  PROM’  sign  hung  above  the  bed.  Other  walls  are  adorned  with  various  crosses  and  religious  paraphernalia.  The  dresser  has  a  time-period  accurate  record  player  sitting  on  top,  with  a  vinyl  version  of  the  1976 movie’s  soundtrack  propped  up  on  display  and  a  tiara  placed  in  front  of  it.  The  bedding  itself  is  a  gradient,  going  from  white  to  a  blood  soaked  red  color  to  mimic  her  dress  towards  the  end  of  the  film.  Various  painted  versions  of  stills  from  the  film  are  framed  and  hung  around  the  room.   The film selections include hard copies of every Carrie adaptation to date.

𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠  𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥,  𝗣𝗘𝗧  𝗦𝗘𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗬.  The  room  is  primarily  dark  tones,  meant  to  mimic  the  eerie  vibes  of  the  cemetery  featured  in  the  film.  A  wooden  sign  hangs  above  the  bed  with  the  words  ‘PET  SEMATARY’  painted  on  it,  and  various  prop  recreations  of  several  of  the  animals  baring  their  teeth,  eyes  glowing,  placed  around  the  room.  The  carpet  is  a  plush,  dark  green,  several  makeshift  headstones  painted  along  the  lower  parts  of  the  wall.  The  animal  masks  worn  by  the  children  during  funeral  processions  in  the  2019  adaptation  hang  in  a  neat  line  on  the  wall  above  the  dresser  along  with  a  neon  sign  stating  ‘Sometimes  Dead  Is  Better.’  

𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠  𝗙𝗜𝗩𝗘,  𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗠’𝗦  𝗟𝗢𝗧.  Resting  on  the  back  of  the  door  is  a  black  road  sign  that  states,  ‘SALEM’S  LOT,  POP.  2013,  EL.  289’.  Long,  flowing  white  sheers  bracket  the  windows,  long  fingers  handprints  stained  against  the  glass.  Propped  upright  in  the  corner  is  a  velvet  lined  coffin  with  a  life  sized  replica  doll  of  Kurt  Barlow  as  The  Vampire  resting  in  it.  The  eyes,  reflective,  catch  and  glow  in  the  light.  Spanning  across  the  wall  is  a  dusk  blue  color  with  the  shadows  of  creeping  trees  and  the  silhouette  of  two  boys  trudging  through  the  forest.  A  large,  framed  map  of  the  fictional  town  hangs  on  the  opposite  wall,  alongside  various  vintage  film  posters.  

𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠  𝗦𝗜𝗫,  𝗠𝗜𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗬.  The  Misery  room  is  a  perfect  recreation  of  the  room  that  Annie  Wilkes  trapped  and  tortured  Paul  Sheldon  in.  It  contains  a  single,  twin  sized  bed  with  the  ( easily  removable )  leather straps  striking  a  resemblance  to  the  ones  used  to  tie  Caan’s  character  down.  From  the  wallpaper,  to  the  lamps,  the  bedspread,  the  furniture,  and  everything  in  between  —   it  is  a  thoughtful  replica  of  the  movie  set,  with  every  detail  included.  Sitting  on  the  small  table  is  a  Royal  typewriter  with  the  ‘N’  key  missing,  and  corrasable  bond  paper.  A  rubber  sledgehammer  sits  atop  the  bedside  table.  Various  painted  recreations  of  stills  from  the  film  are  interspersed  with  the  canonical  paintings  Wilkes’  had  hanging  in  the  room.  

All  of  the  rooms  are  equipped  with  private  bathrooms,  televisions,  and  the  novels  and  films  the  room  is  based  around.  Additionally, due to its nature as a bed and breakfast, Veilmont lives there, prepares meals for every guest that comes through the doors, and cleans up after them, too. He is the only official employee, due to the lack of reservations. Occasionally his sister comes over to help when it's needed, or when she feels the need to check up on him.

Due to the building's long and tragic history, it's rumored that there are ghosts lurking about ... just don't ask the owner about it. He clams up every time.
